====Welcome to the FUSS wiki!

FUSS = For Use with Supernova Spectropolarimetry. And as the name indicates this package was created to help me reduce and analyse spectropolarimetric data of supernovae. FUSS consists of IRAF CL routines and a Python 2.7 package. The IRAF routines are were written to remove some of the tedium associate with the reduction of spectra in; the Python package contains: A submodule (datred.py) intended for data reduction alongside IRAF tasks; a bundle of functions to help handle reduced spectropolarimetric data; the sub-modules polplot.py — to create polar plots — and stat.py — to perform the occasional Principal Components Analysis or Pearson test.

This is a work in progress, and I will implement new functionalities as I need them. This code was made available mostly for the sake of result reproducibility, but anyone is welcome to use it, or part of it, should it be useful to them. If you do use it please cite: [14ad paper I guess?]
